A study released this week in the journal Environmental Science & Technology had a surprising conclusion: Denver had vastly more per capita emissions than many cities around the U.S. and world, including the notoriously smoggy Los Angeles as well as New York City.
The report examined 10 cities (the three from the U.S. and then seven from various parts of the world) using seven metrics, including electricity usage, population density, waste removal, and others. The results were surprising to say the least, as Denver accounted for the release of 50 percent more per capita emissions than even Los Angeles using the metrics in the study.
Barcelona was by far the least polluting city examined. If you are curious about how other cities stacked up, check out the full story from The Daily Green.
